This is the modern-day fable of the Pecksniffian candidacy of Flaming Heterosexual, Rick Santorum. He’s been capturing headlines of late for a modest February 7th Republican presidential caucus win in Colorado, a thrashing of ‘frontrunner’ Mitt Romney in a non-binding Missouri primary and a 28 percentage point caucus triumph over Romney in Minnesota.
Even though Santorum is likely to come tumbling back to earth after the Saturday, March 11th count of Maine caucus votes, it’s instructive to take an objective look at this Flaming Heterosexual who commands the wing-nut vote and has a puncher’s chance of being the Republican nominee for president.
